Man found not guilty of son's murder by reason of insanity committed to Central Mental Hospital

The wife of a man, who spent 16 years in jail for the murder of his infant son, has told a court that she always believed her husband could not have known what he was doing and she would not have been in his apartment "for one second" if she thought he was capable of hurting their son.

"I will live with the guilt of being there that night as long as I live but I had to forgive myself," Amanda Bailey told the Central Criminal Court in a victim impact statement today.
